FRESHMAN CLASS
From a wide variety of backgrounds the men of the freshman class assembled this last September with high spirits and the feeling that we were glad to be here. Class officers were elected and everyone began the task of furthering his education.
All education has not, however, come from books as weekends have been spiced by dental fraternity rush stags and dinner dances. Ap- proximately one half of the class has organized with dental fraternities.
For the second semester a class stag party is planned. Later there will be a dance to give the ladies an evening out. In the spring the class hopes to have a picnic to finish the social calendar for the freshman year.
Members of the Freshman class feel honored to have been chosen for a position in this school. The goal of each is that he might some day make a worthy contribution to the dental prof ssion.

SOPHOMORE CLASS
With the coming of September, there were 91 eager students who were anxious to start their sophomore year and apply some of the previous year's learning. Five new students in the class were H. Reithe, R. Mayhill from W e:;tern Reserve, Dr. E. Lauzardo from Cuba, Dr. J. Girault from Haiti, and Dr. T. Nayan from the Philippine Islands. We welcome them as members of the class of 1965.
Although our schedule was crowded and consisted of, along with daily classes, the at- tendance at autopsies in the evenings, a class dance was held and enjoyed by all. Later on in the semester, when the General Pathology course terminated, another social act1v1ty was a stag party which was enjoyed by the class and faculty.
The Christmas vacation arrived and all of the class looked forward to a well-earned rest, visit, or at least some time off. Upon returning in January, 1963, final exams were upon us and then second semester. This was quite a challenge.

JUNIOR CLASS
The Junior Class started its year with a picnic get-together of faculty, wives, and children at Merritt's Park. Fun was had by all with the exception of our past class presi- dent, Joe Fox, who discovered late in November that he had broken his arm in the touch foot- ball game one month previous. Our annual Christmas party in conjunction with the Junior and Senior Dental Hygienists for the under- privileged children of the Christamore House proved to be a rewarding experience for all who participated. Our Santa, for the second year, Dr. Ray Maesaka, did have a little trouble finding one-hundred gifts for a planned at- tendance of eighty. Dr. and Mrs. John F.
Johnston, our class sponsor and his wife, were kept happily busy minding the youngsters of our class, who appear to be numerously in- creasing this year. Our activities are presently at a standstill as we settle down for a new semester.

PSI OMEGA
The fraternity held its annual Christmas Ball at the I.S.T.A. building. A semi-formal dance followed the elaborate smorgasbord, prepared for dinner, which was highlighted by the presence and delightful comments of Dean Hine.
We have completely renovated the house, and acquired some beautiful new furniture which consists of two overstuffed sofas and four matching chairs. Also over the summer months we had our dental engines re-worked and ac- quired some new ones, bought an air compres- sor, glazing oven, and re-worked the casting machine. The house has retained the Scholar- ship Award it has won six out of the last seven years.
The Psi 0 wives were quite active this year, having a party for the new wives, a Christmas party, and a Toy party. We are thankful to the wives for the twelve card table chairs which they presented to the house this past summer.
The fraternity is quite proud of Dick Fisher's recent election as president of the Student Clinicians A.D.A. (S.C.A.D.A.) in Miami at
the Mid-Winter meeting and as president of the I.U. Student Union Board.
The officers elected in March are:
President- Eugene Eggers Vice-President-} ohn Parsons Secretary- John Lund Treasurer- Doug Badell
Social Chairman-Steve Michael Rush Chairman- Stan Nevill
Michael O'Halloran
DELTA SIGMA DELTA
Delta Sigma Delta welcomes the new year with much anticipation and expectation. A new Delt house is presently under negotiation.
The graduate chapter is contributing their tire- less efforts to the cause and thus -a corral and a hitchin' post is soon to be had.
The rush program and weekend this past fall was perfect in every way. A stag party opened the festivities on a Friday evening with faculty Delts speaking on various phases of dentistry. Saturday evening found us at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Miles Barton for smorgas- board (a hardy thanks to the Delt Wives Organization as well) and later at the Indi- anapolis Athletic Club for the traditional
"Autumn Leaves" rush dance. Oh such fun from stem to stern!
Delta Sigma Delta has selected a sterling group of plebs- some thirty in number.
Congrats to all and welcome to the fold!
The Christmas dance brought much cheer this year, being held at the new Knight's of Columbus hall. Santa, pledge pins, our new pledge class, et al added pomp to the occasion.
After the dust of final examinations for the first semester has settled, we are planning for at least one project or activity per month.
Officers for 1962-63 are as follows: Presi- dent-James Dice, Vice President-Walter Ching, Secretary-Ermil Wilkinson, Treasurer- Maurice Lord, Historian-Joseph Fox, Senior Page- Jon Walker, Junior Page- Frank Buch- ner, and Sergeant-at-Arms- David Marks.

PEDODONTICS (Continued from page 8)
creased demands for dentistry for children will result in greater emphasis in pedodon- tics in dental education. The dental cur- riculum will necessarily have to be altered because with the increase in the volume

of work to be done for children will come a corresponding increase and recognition of special dental problems. These prob- lems will be solved through an increased emphasis of pedodontics at the under- graduate level and increased participation in the graduate, postgraduate, internship and residency areas.
FACULTY PUBLICATIONS (Continued from page 17)
1. Under the conditions of this study, the formocresol-pulpotomy technique was superior to the calcium hydroxide pulpotomy technique, for at least the first 18 months following the treatment of normal primary dental pulps.
2. Formocresol did not stimulate a healing response by the stump of the amputated primary dental pulp, but rather tended to
"fix" nearly the entire remainder of the pulp.
3. Calcium hydroxide was associated with the formation of a dentin bridge and the com- plete healing of the stump of the amputated primary dental pulp in half of the cases studied microscopically.

4. When the calcium hydroxide treatment failed, inflammation of the pulp and internal resorption were found.
5. The formocresol-pulpotomy technique re- sulted in a surface layer of well preserved,
. compressed acidophilic tissue, which appeared
to be fibrous. There was no evidence of calcification or organization for calcific bridg- ing. Below the dark staining layer, a large pale-staining, eosinophilic area of slightly degenerated c.ells was seen which extended nearly to the apex.

Under the conditions of this experiment, in which dried bones and special techniques were used, it was found that ( 1) minor destructive changes in the alveolar crest could not be de- tected by roentgenograms: ( 2) destruction of the buccal alveolar crest could not be distingu- ished from destruction of the lingual alveolar crest by such a technique; ( 3) funnel-shaped destruction of the alveolar crest, leaving the outer and inner alveolar plates intact, did not register on the film; ( 4) evidently a reliable method for obtaining a good roentgenogram of the alveolar crest is to align the long axis of the tooth parallel to the film with the central beam directed at right angles to the film, as occurs in the use of the bitewing film or in other paralleling techniques; ( 5) removal of the entire buccal or lingual plate did not affect the architectural pattern of bone in the roentgenogram; ( 6) bone d~struction caused by a periodontal abscess or any localized periodontal disease in many cases would not show if the defect was superimposed by the roots, especially if the cortical plates of bone were thin; ( 7) removal of the central trabec- ulae in the mandible and the maxillae, leaving the junctional trabeculae intact, did not affect the trabecular pattern; ( 8) removal of the junctional trabeculae of the maxillae, leaving the central trabeculae intact, did not alter the trabecular pattern; and ( 9) removal of both types of trabeculae affected the architectural pattern.

A case report concerned with a seven year old girl with bluish-brown discoloration of
newly erupted permanent teeth contrasting with white, normal deciduous teeth. For several years she had received tetracycline antibiotics for a persistent ear infection. The drug was deposited in these developing teeth which fluor- esce yellow under ultraviolet light.

interested in Public ·Health and Educa- tion. Instead of accepting a gratuity for his appearance on our program, he sug- gested that we put this money into our scholarship fund and I'm sure that the Board will be glad to do so at their next
m~eting.
The weather cleared for the afternoon so we had ideal football weather. Our team played an inspired game against Iowa and although we didn't win we still were very proud of the continued im- provement of our team. Don't miss this conference next fall. Each year there is an increase in attendance and enthusiasm.
President Peden has plans started for a big year. His new officers are Drs.
Emory Bryan, President-elect, H. Wm.
Gilmore, Vice-President and Malcolm Boone, Secretary-Treasurer. The new board members are Drs. D. R. Lindborg, R. D. Vinzant and R. E. Llewellyn .. Our total attendance was 310, Banquet 220, Press Box luncheon 135 and who knows how many at the brunch! Dr. Boone's drive for affiliate members has r sulted in over 50 new memberships and we are pleased to welcome these dentists into our organization.

tional Board is recognized by thirty states. It took the National Boards of Medicine and Dentistry over 20 years to achieve the level of recognition afforded the dental hygiene program in its first
year. We are very pleased with the per- formance of the students and graduates of Indiana on this first examination. The average performance of the students on all four parts placed the school well in the top third.
ALUMNI NOTES (Continued from page 42)
have grown to appreciate and love, and we wish you could know them too.
«Living in the land of the midnight sun and midday moon proves to be excit- ing, interesting and exhilaratina. We are on the edge of a small (5,000,000 square mile) ocean, two-thirds covered with ice at all times, which, in itself, furnishes many unusual experiences for us. Also, we have numerous animals to add to the variety-walrus, seals, whales, cogruk, white owls, lemmings, caribou, foxes, Arctic (white in winter) foxes, polar bears, and many others (including fish).
''Life in the Arctic, among the Eskimos, is indeed a different way of Zif e than we have been accustomed to living. How- ever, we keep cozy and warm and have clothing, food, and shelter, and love to sustain us through come what may. The happiest event of the year occurred August 25, when Barbara arrived. We are grate- ful that we have her to love and cherish and raise. She is a great joy to us and we anticipate the years ahead with her.
«We have had some unhappy events too- illness, accidents, and other un-
jJleasant happenings among loved ones.
We pray that the Lord will guide and be near to each of you involved.
«Among all of these events we are happy to see Christmas arrive. We are thankful for Christmas, the commemora- tion of Christ's coming to earth to ulti- mately give His Zif e for us and aive us (Continued on next page)
